Blind Items Revealed

This former A list mostly movie actress who was once in the top three actresses on the planet and still has A list name recognition is lonely. It is not like she is old. She is aging but has so many fake parts that aging might be on hold forever. She has an A list mostly movie actor husband but he is the cause of what is going on in our actresses' life.

She tends to shop a lot. She is out shopping almost everyday. At this point no one is willing to hire her for the roles she wants. She thinks she is in her 30's and wants to be a sex symbol. She can't accept that she has become older and needs to play mothers and maybe even grandmothers to get roles. So, she shops and spends hours in stores and only buys enough to keep the sales people talking to her each time she goes in. She might spend $200-300 a day which seems like a lot but is probably less than she would spend on therapy and doesn't make a dent in the millions of dollars she has.

Her husband has not slept with her in ages and prefers women in their 20's who give him that extra bit of kink he has learned to crave. Our actress would probably be up for it because she definitely used to be up for anything but he doesn't even give her the chance any longer. He trots the wife out for red carpets and photo ops and when she is sober.

He says he is spending time away from her because she is not sober any longer. A very very close relative told me though that he is the reason she slipped and is back boozing and doing some drugs again. That she was trying to face being rejected by him and his insistence they not publicly split. She wanted to but he told her she would never get anyone ever again. The guy is a an a-hole and she just smiles and pretends to the world that everything is great while she sinks further and further into a pit of depression.

She had plenty of issues even before she married him so I highly doubt the marriage was 'healthy' to start off with. She can be Alist again as she is still loved. She just needs the right role and stop pretending to be a dumb bimbo as she is a smart cookie.

I agree with VIP, Very unfair to blame others for addiction &depression. melanie needs to sit down with herself, spend time figuring out why she keeps finding these men. I remember reading last day or so her counter to antonio saying the family went to counseling etc during rehab to support her and her counter was that he was a good man but he (not an exact quote far from it) didn't do as much as he thought he did/wasn't enough/wasn't good enough.

she comes across as needy and having a bit of a victim complex. I'm sorry for the lady, and I've heard she's been thru alot but……its not antonios fault shes boozing & drugging again. Hope she pulls out of it

I think everyone guessed this one. Like I always said, Griffith was just screwed up from the get go. She had really no upbringing and has been used by men for YEARS. Don Johnson started messing with her when she was 14, and McKenzie Phillips talked about how she did threesomes with her when they were 16, so Griffith has always had problems.

I dunno Pip, I thought years ago she was actually well regarded as a talented comedic actress. she had 2 roles prior to working girl where she was a riot. her movies something wild and especially body double she could be really funny.

i read or heard somewhere that when she got involved with Don Johnson again that he started influencing her script choices, I always thought if she'd trusted her own choices that her career & life might've turned out different.

i don't agree she's a bad actress. i thought she was perfect in 'working girl', my favorite movie of hers. she did one with don johnson too where they'd lost a child and i thought she was good in that.

her relationship with this guy ruined her career. she's been trying to be young enough for him all these years and she can't pull it off anymore.

She gives me the willies when I see her. Between her baby girl voice, the smoking, drugs, drinking.. She's repulsive. Sure, he's an asshole, but I wouldn't sleep with her either. She drove Don Johnson away too.

I heard a great story once about how stupid Antonio Banderas is. He was shooting a film with a shoot-out scene and the budget was so low they couldn't use real guns with fake bullets so instead they got these cheap fake guns. The director told Antonio to pretend it was a real gun and that they would just add the firing sounds later during the editing. And what did Antonio do? Every scene he pretended to shoot the gun while making "BANG BANG BANG" noises with his mouth LMAO. They could not get him to stop he didn't understand that yes they could edit the sound but they couldn't edit his face out mouthing BANG BANG BANG the whole time.

This news had me watching, "Working Girl" yesterday and I really enjoyed it. Sigourney Weaver is amazing in this, and Melanie Griffith's voice is really soothing. She's a good actress and good at honing the sympathetic character, even though some people don't think she is because of her voice.

Antonio may be aging, but he still has years of voice work ahead of him. I adored him about 20 years ago. Both he and Val Kilmer were major, major crushes. What happened?

I have zero sympathy for this woman. She was born with a silver spoon, a true child of Hollywood royalty. She took up with Don Johnson when she was barely out of diapers, she has had several relationships which produced children. She is whiny and not very bright. She is NOT a good actress but she has had numerous chances her entire life, and has blown them all. For an attractive woman with tons of money and solid show-business connections, she is a basket case and it is all her own fault.

@gypsytrill – Absolutely right Gypseytrill. She's always been men crazy, chose men over her career, broke up a marriage to get Antonio, gave up her career to watch over him that he was not cheating on her, and this is her reward. Too bad. She's a bimbo to boot. She should have left this creep years ago, but her ego is just as big as his, and she wanted to look they they were happily married, and she had no career to fall back on.

Unfortunately she goes for the strong bad boy types and those guys are jerks. She needs to adjust her priorities and she'll find the nice guy she deserves. Hopefully she finds someone age appropriate and doesn't go all desperate and start paying some young guy to be her date. Please Melanie. Don't go that route.

I think Antonio has a much stronger movie catalog than Melanie (Team Banderas – sorry but I love a lot of his movies). Consider the very first American movie Antonio did was Mambo Kings. He didn't speak English at the time and somebody bullshitted the director – or whoever hired him – that he could. He learned his entire speaking role phonetically. I don't think there's a snowball's chance in hell that Melanie could have EVER done that. Let's don't forget he also sang his own parts in Mambo Kings (the soundtrack is awesome) and he also did his own vocals in Desperado. The dude can sing and act in TWO languages. Also consider that if he was a giant American douche, he would be calling the friggin paps every time he stepped out on Melanie to make sure he was featured on E! And TMZ and Entertainment tonight on a daily basis (I'm looking at you Reese Witherspoon). I'm sure they're going to be dogging them both now but I'd say they've both kept it pretty low key for several years. I commend them both for that. She needs to pack up her pity party and quit blaming everyone else for her problems. Quite fucking with her face and get serious about acting. Get on with your life. This isn't your first divorce, it's not like you haven't been here before girl SNAP OUT OF IT!

Puzzled by top 3 comment as, yes, she was big after Working Girl, but that's it. Also, while it's sad for her, how you get em is how you lose em. Didn't he cheat on first wife with her? What goes around…
